Quinnen Williams. 2. player. 32. . DT. Alabama

Alabama’s Quinnen Williams has shot up draft boards this season, coming from a relative unknown to a potential Top 5 pick in April. The redshirt sophomore has been a dominant presence in the middle of the Crimson Tide’s defense.

He leads the Alabama defense with 16 tackles-for-loss to go along with 7 sacks. He was particularly dominant in wins over LSU and Mississippi State, where he racked up 5.5 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks combined in the two contests.

Williams’ play has him up for some major college football awards as he is finalist for both the Outland Trophy and Bednarik Award.

The Cardinals need a lot of help, and teaming Williams with defensive end Chandler Jones could give them the start of a really strong defensive line. Robert Nkemdiche has been a disappointment, so they could be looking to replace him at some point soon anyway.

Arizona could also look at grabbing a cornerback or an offensive linemen with this pick. LSU’s Greedy Williams and Alabama’s Jonah Williams could be in play as a result.
